Having read this thread with interest, I would say the 60-250 is your best bet but it is not cheap. You could add a 1.4x too! Paul had great success with this combination. I have an FA 100-300 which I used before I acquired an HD 55-300. Despite the glowing reviews for the 55-300, I have found it no better than the under-rated 100-300 which can be had for a song.
The 60-250 doesn't cover the full frame. It is possible it is baffled down to APS-C, in which case there would be a rear hood that might be removable. I sold mine, and I really don't recall what the back end looked like.

The da 55-300, despite nominally being an aps lens seems to do ok on ff. Is there anything even better, preferably not too expensive?
